January 17, 2019, Belgrade

Vladimir Putin and President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic visited the Liberators of Belgrade Memorial. The two presidents laid wreaths to the Monument to the Liberators of Belgrade and the Monument to Soviet Soldiers to commemorate those who lost their lives in World War II.

The Memorial opened on October 20, 1954, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the liberation of the Yugoslav capital from Nazi occupants. The remains of Soviet and Yugoslav soldiers who perished in battles for the liberation of Belgrade and were buried in city parks, on squares and boulevards were moved to the cemetery.
